Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-methoxyl-N-methylaniline (27.7 mg, 0.2 mmol) and Et3Al (196 μL, 1.9 M in toluene, 0.2 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (1 mL) which was preheated at 50° C. for 10 min under N2 atmosphere, was added 4-chloro-5-(4-cyano-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (50 mg, 0.14 mmol). The mixture was sealed in N2 atmosphere and heated at 80° C. for 16 hrs. Upon cooling to rt, the mixture was quenched with 2 N HCl (5 mL) and diluted with 1,2-dichloroethane. The organic layer was separated and concentrated. The residue was purified via reverse phase preparative LCMS to yield 4-chloro-5-(4-cyano-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2-methoxy-N-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-N-methyl-benzamide 38-1 (4.9 mg). MS [M+H]+475.9; tR=5.91 min (method 3)
